Piranha SB ( variant of Marion's SB seeds form RFC )
Since this is a variant I will refer to it as
Marion's Scotch Bonnet red .

I got the Marion's Red SB because I liked the flavor & heat profile
I grew seed once of papa dreadie of Erin seed stock shared by Gary Montcalm back then .
My was red it looked just like a papa dreadie only red & form what remember it flavor & heat was like this one.
The other varieties was gifted as freebies form Jim.
So I am growing them out I will need to bring my containers over for some of these etc

These are supposed to be Jim Duffy's Sweet Scorpion.
They are supposed to turn red but haven't there green to white with a pale yellow tint that the camera brings out cause to the necked eye they appear more white
I had one starting to go bad in the top so picked it for sampling
Sent was hot fruity citrus , the flavor had a brief sweetness followed by a grassiness it did had fruity citrus to it.
To me it was all muted but for that grassiness just not for me.
The heat was clean wasn't on a super hot level in my opinion but probably in the very hot category .
It did seem aggressive but full & slow build .
It may just be that pod or me

The brown was soft not a color change

These was supposed to be a variant of maldivian heart red & be orange .
These are more Vermillion so net gen may be back to original.
I have have various phenotypes some like those of pics of red & orange but I like the one with the spade phenotype
I will save seed for that one & hope to get more spade phenotypes if so I will call it Maldivian Spade .
I've yet to try them so that's a factor as well

Jim Duffy Piranha SB was a hit with my friend & his co workers
One of his female co workers husband loved it as well

This is supposed to be a maldivian heart orange but it is different than the lemon or the other not maldivian heart orange
I am thinking of trying to over winter I like that bushy growth habit

Well my plants in the garage while the leaves are mostly gone the stems look fresh so like a half dormant state
I need to pick and save what seed I can that will probably be Maldivian Heart Red my favorite this season & I found I still have some old Zapotec seeds
All & all but for the Zapotec dieing it was a fairly good season
Jim Duffy Piranha was good those at my friend work liked both that one & maldivian Heart Red
I am trying to select the elongated heart Spade phenotype over the round somewhat oxheart some of those look like ...well I will leave it at that.
Those sweet Scorpion phenotype kinda reminds me of sausage like but there not for me .
Anyway a Zapotec pepper jelly made with 2023 peppers is coming been ask for awhile now
I like to do something with the maldivian heart red as I've been munching on there like maybe a hot sauce or candied or use them to make hot honey you can do both them according to this vid I watched
